Condition Details
Surface shows a price sticker on the top right corner which may leave residue upon removal. Edges and corners appear relatively clean from this angle, though slight corner softness and border wear are common for vintage chrome stock. Centering appears slightly heavy to the right.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for professional grading unless removed of sticker residue and inspected thoroughly under magnification, as grading fees would likely exceed the added value for a raw card in this condition range.
